Abstract excerpt
Presenilin 1 (PS1) is a multifunctional protein, and its mutations are highly related to familial Alzheimer's disease (AD). In this study, we examined the effects of PS1 overexpression on neuronal morphology using SH-SY5Y cells. Overexpression of dominant-negative D385A PS1 induced morphological change and impairment of neurite formation, while those of wild-type and pathogenic P117L mutant PS1 did not change...
